Random

You know when little things around you tend to send signals to your brain to start searching old files from your memory archives? That will then remind you of things once/used to happened in your life?

Sometimes things around me remind me of memories that I've never even consider their significance in my life.

A lady sitting next to me in the bus has her phone tucked in between her fingers. *Insert ringtone's effect* Oh. That used to be my ringtone when there were incoming text messages back when I was in high school. And comes the gush of memories flooding my head like a rapid stream or something.

Like the sunlight reminds me of Umra in Mecca with the family. Like the sound of people reciting the Quran reminds me of my mom. How hibiscus and bicycles remind me of my childhood. How the smell of a guy's cologne reminds me of my friend.

The world you live in has a lot of ways for it to make you remember things. Unless you choose not to.
